I purchased the 590 within the past couple of weeks. It's basically identical to the 680i. The 680 has a better northbridge so you'll get better performance. Unless you want those additional features or plan to overclock, you'd be fine with the 590 and save some $$.

The 680i has 3 PCIe, so in the future a physX card could be added on the PCIe bus, making for a better/faster experience.

If money's no object go with the 680i since there's a lot more "upgradability" but if money can/will be a factor asch is right.

Time to smash the orbs up again.
These runs all done with 8-9hrs benching time using all the hardware at once.
GPU's only pushed maybe 60-70% . So much left untapped...imagine what the scores will be 1 month from now lol:
